Tumblr Rules

I notice on tumblr there is always a long ass debate going on about something that quite frankly, is terrifying that it’s even considered debatable. I’m gonna assume the demographics is between 17-30 here, and assume (hopefully) most of us aren’t having kids without being emotionally and financially ready. That said…listen. Maybe this next generation will be less bitter if we pass on and/or eliminate some things. –Don’t rape. Don’t catcall. Stop calling women hoes and thots and bitches. Girls, you too. It’s old. Teach your kiddos to respect all bodies. No body is ugly. Only a personality can be ugly. Fact. –Don’t be racist. White people, I’m talking to you. –Don’t assume “all ______ people do ______.” (This goes for all races however.) –Don’t assume if X, then Y. If one likes Sharpova it doesn’t mean they’re racist against Serena. (I’m team Serena though) –Stop shitting on new ideas because they scare you. Change is good. Change is needed. Especially now. –Don’t assume if it’s on tumblr with 100,000 notes it’s true. It’s very possible 100,000 ill informed/stupid people reposted something. –Tumblr is just tumblr. Reposting something doesn’t make you a revolutionary–so stay the fuck in school. Complain about it ON tumblr, but don’t think you’re Rosa Parks because you reblogged a picture with a deep caption you didn’t write. –If you wanna “shut it down” for ANY cause, write emails, get your ass in the streets, harass your city representatives…reblogging with a hashtag is rarely gonna fix anything. –Be nice. –Stop buying Iggy Azelia records. She’ll go away. –Rihanna is not the queen. Aretha Franklin is. –Stop talking about Trump and he’ll disappear. I promise. Just like Iggy. –The Kardashians are only famous because you want and allow them to be. –Kanye is not the greatest of all time. Jimi is. –You can say “all lives matter” AFTER we solve the white supremacy problem and aliens declare war on us as a human race. Until then, no. No. No.

Studio Ghibli Color Designer Michiyo Yasuda, has passed away. :’(

Michiyo Yasuda, long time animator & color designer of Studio Ghibli passed away 

Japan’s Mainichi has reported on the death of long time color designer and the chief of the ink and paint division of Studio Ghibli Michiyo Yasuda, who passed away of an undisclosed illness on October 5 at the age of 77. Yasuda started working at Toei Dogo before she was 20 and joined Studio Ghibli co-founders Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki on the 1968 anime feature Horus, Prince of the Sun aka the Little Norse Prince.

Yasuda later worked on Miyazaki’s ‘78 TV anime Future Boy Conan, pre-Ghibli feature Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, and Studio Ghibli’s features such as Hayao Miyazaki’s My Neighbor Totoro,  Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle and Ponyo, as well as Isao Takahata works like Grave of the Fireflies. 

While Yasuda officially retried after Studio Ghibli released Ponyo in 2008, she came back in 2013 for Miyazaki's “final feature” The Wind Rises. Yasuda won an Animation Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011 from the Japan Movie Critics Awards.

Her career spanned over five decades, beginning as a tracer for animation before shifting into color work. She was present at the inception of Studio Ghibli, and continued to run the Color Department until her retirement following PONYO in 2008. Then returned to work for The Wind Rises.

Cause she basically has worked on EVERYTHING and created amazing worlds. for us to watch & live in…. http://www.indiewire.com/2016/10/michiyo-yasuda-dead-studio-ghibli-hayao-miyazaki-1201735490/  http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2016/10/11-1/long-time-studio-ghibli-color-designer-michiyo-yasuda-passes-away http://goboiano.com/news/5251-ghibli%2527s-legendary-color-designer-michiyo-yasuda-passes-away-at-77 http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=1700

UNMUTE THIS AND LISTEN TO VAN JONES

Advice from a Dominant

Don’t let anyone tell you that you are inferior, because you are not. You have every right to experience your sexual desires as an equal. You just know your place is best suited under a Dominant’s guidance. It doesn’t mean you are less than. It does not mean you are weak. We simply know our places in this continuity of life.

Anyone who tries to tell you that they are the superior, the alpha, “master”, and you must automatically bow to them. Just laugh. Because they are nothing but a fraud.

True Dominant Men respect submissives. True Dominant Men nurture and care for submisisves.

After Video Shows Raging Cop Run Over and Kick a Compliant Biker, He’s Promoted to Captain

Last week, a Eugene man was awarded $180,000 by a jury after being run over and attacked by an Oregon State Police officer.

The dashcam video from the attack was also released along with the ruling. In the video, Capt. Rob Edwards, with the OSP, is seen chasing down Justin Wilkens, running his bike over, and then kicking the man so hard that he broke his collarbone.

As the dashcam video begins, Edwards, who is driving an unmarked Chevrolet Camaro, is passed by Wilkens. Wilkens was seen passing cars in a no-passing zone, which was a poor decision. However, an even poorer decision was for Edwards to do the same thing in his vehicle that is several times wider than a motorcycle.

Once Wilkens realized he was being followed, he pulled off, at which point Edwards rammed his vehicle into the motorcyclist. Edwards then exits the vehicle with his gun drawn and front kicks the entirely peaceful and compliant Wilkens in the chest so hard that it broke his clavicle and fractured his ribs.

According to the Register-Guard, Wilkens, 41, denies trying to escape from the veteran state trooper. He claims he didn’t recognize Edwards’ unmarked Chevrolet Camaro as a police vehicle and did not realize he was being followed until moments before he pulled the motorcycle to the side of the road and stopped.

Before being run down by the crazed cop, Wilkens testified that he thought he was about to get a well-deserved speeding ticket. Instead, he got a hospital visit, a damaged motorcycle, towing fees, and medical bills.

In a laughable testimony, Edwards admitted that Wilkens was complying with his commands prior to unleashing the kick, but that he couldn’t stop his kick as he “already had the muscles fired” in his right leg.

As if claiming his leg has a mind of his own wasn’t bad enough, Edwards then attempted to tell the jury that the same thing happened to his brakes, which is why he ran over Wilkens. In spite of the video clearly showing no attempt to brake prior to his car ramming Wilkens, Edwards claimed that he “accidentally bumped” the motorcycle as a result of “brake fade” — a term to describe overheated brakes on older model vehicles.

Had Edwards actually experienced “brake fade,” Wilkens could be dead.

After the verdict last week, State Police released a statement that said the agency “is disappointed with the (trial) outcome and feels the actions of our troopers clearly did not violate established procedures or tactics. In situations like these, officers have milliseconds to make what may be life-or-death decisions and those officers should be shielded from the liability of civil damages.”

Edwards was never suspended for this incident, and only received a written reprimand for failing to report his use of force. In true blue privilege fashion, Edwards, who was a lieutenant at the time of this stop, has since been promoted to Captain and now he sits at the head of the entire OSP at their headquarters in Bend.

Have you seen it? That’s crazy! One more brutal action against a peaceful unarmed man was justified. What’s going on here? People who made Edwards a captain must be retarded! This video shows very clearly that actions of Rob Edwards were stupid, violent and excessive. Such manner of policing (?) is inadmissible and such cop is inadmissible! Edwards was promoted but he should have been suspended! Until such scumbags as Edwards beat people while on duty without punishment and get the promotion we will never live in a free country.
